“[The concept of consistency not only includes routines, it extends to every kind of parent-child interaction. While most moms and dads are familiar with the concept of time-outs, Spencer believes in time-ins, too.] Basically, a time-in is regular, positive interaction between parent and toddler, ... Time-ins really make time-outs that much more effective.”
“Think of the toddler years as a wacky and crazy - but short - period of time, ... Slow down and see past the chaos of it, and you'll see that good things truly do come in small packages.”
